Answer:
C. Is a similar theme or message expressed in both works through culturally unique images?
Step-by-step explanation:
To be completely honest, I'm unsure if this is the correct answer. However, use the process of elimination.
A. How might each writer have written the work to be separate from his or her culture of origin?
This doesn't matter to us. It's useless information.
B. Is it possible for works from different cultures to share a similar theme?
This is entirely true, but it's not important enough. It must relate specifically to the theme in the literary works that we're analyzing. It's too general.
C. Is a similar theme or message expressed in both works through culturally unique images?
Leaning towards this answer because it's not too broad, just the right amount of narrow. You have to research the cultures in order to understand whether or not one theme/message means something different in one culture, than the other.
D. Why did each author choose to set the work in his or her native country?
Like A.'s reasoning, I don't believe this is relevant. At least, it's not the most important question listed here.
